Would this unit have worn this cap badge?
& what exactly is a "paper unit"??

Hello Bryan, a "paper Unit"(13th SLD & 55th Irish-Canadian Rangers,disb.1936) the way it was explained to me, is a unit that was on the roll of the Canadian Militia in old day but, had no officers and no other ranks listed (and no armoury???).It was a unit kept in case there was a war and had to be raised in a hurry, something similar to the canadian supplementary order of battle. But hey, I could also have been misled about this explanation.
As to know if the unit wore this cap badge.......well I guess they would but on what kind of cap ????
Cheers
Jo
